Table 1. Kinetic parameters of glucose release from cellulose and CMC substrates using cellulase: NS complex compared to free cellulase enzyme.
Sample | Substrate | Vmax (µg glucose/hr) | Km (mg/ml) |
Cellulase | Cellulose | 13.2+/−1.1 | 39.5+/−7.1 |
Cellulase:NS | Cellulose | 13.9+/−0.5 | 14.3+/−1.6 |
Cellulase | CMC | 33.5+/−2.6 | 30.2+/−4.7 |
Cellulase:NS | CMC | 34.0+/−2.5 | 30.5+/−4.5 |
Values are the mean +/− standard deviation.
